"The "will of the people" [majority rule] that ignores our Constitution is called democratic tyranny."

Paulsen trolls:
And that has what to do with this article? 92

Even assuming incorporation, there's a right to own a dildo in the constitution? 93 Val

You two are really that 'innocent'? Whatta laugh.
Prohibitions on 'toys' are the issue.
And there's a right to own all the toys you want in the Constitution. -- Its unenumerated. -- Check out the 9th.

Well, as I noted--it should more accurately be the right to SELL these toys.

So the 9th Amendment means that the people can do whatever they want? The 9th Amendment protects gay marriage? It protects sodomy? It protects consentual pedophilia? It protects necophilia? It protects polygamy?

If not, why not? How do you draw the line--and I'm being serious here, and I'd appreciate a serious answer: if the 9th Amendment doesn't protect those things, how does society determine which actions are protected and which aren't? How is the line drawn?

Until you can answer that question with a statement other than "the will of the people" (since that's what is at work here) then I don't think we can carry on any further. Any conversation on your part would be entirely irrational.
